A Letter on Shakspere's Authorship of The Two Noble Kinsmen

Note 45:1 — A LETTER ON SHAKSPEARE'S AUTHORSHIP OF THE DRAMA ENTITLED THE TWO NOBLE KINSMEN. (continued 2)

Reading edition

In Philaster, Act IV. last scene.

Place me, some god, upon a Piramis, Higher than hill of earth, and lend a voice, Loud as your thunder, to me, that from thence I may discourse, to all the under world, The worth that dwells in him.

Shakspeare, too, was not the most likely person to have given the true meaning of the βοωπις ποτνια Ἡρη. I am not aware that either Hall or Chapman shewed him the way. Chapman in the First Book (v. 551) has it; "She with the cowes fair eyes, Respected Juno."

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
